No emotions here, just a practical realization of what goes on out
there (or doesn't).

Here is an example

In the last few days a friend of mine (who uses a PHP based framework
which shall remain nameless)
has had a bunch of directories/files and .htaccess  injected into his
hosted apps.

The commercial provider of the php framework is blaming the hosting
providers php setup
and the hosting provider is blaming the php framework provider, and he
is stuck in the middle.

With app engines model this is just not possible, unless his userid/
credentials are provided/hacked.

So no I do not believe this is a witch hunt at all.  I have been
working with web technlogies since the mid 90's
and honestly so many people get it wrong in terms of security.
